Moses says he has trouble speaking, but God reminds him that He made the mouth and will help him. When Moses continues to resist, God chooses Aaron, Moses’ brother, to speak for him. God promises to guide both of them. This shows Moses’ insecurity and God’s patience.

Exodus 4:10–17 Easy: Then Moses said to the Lord, ‘My Lord, I cannot speak well. I speak slowly and I speak with difficulty. I never could speak well. And even now, when you have spoken to me, I still cannot speak well.’ Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘Who has made human mouths? Who makes a person that cannot speak? Who makes a person that cannot hear? Who makes a person who can see, or who cannot see? It is I, the Lord God! Now go! I will help you to speak well. I will teach you what you must say.’ But Moses said, ‘My Lord, please send some other person. Do not send me!’ Then the Lord became angry with Moses. He said, ‘Aaron, the Levite, is your brother. I know that he can speak very well. Look! He is coming to meet you now. When he sees you, he will be very happy. So this is what you must do. You must speak to him. You must tell him what to say. I will help both of you to speak. And I will teach both of you what you must do. Aaron will speak to the people on your behalf. He will be like your mouth, to speak your message. And you will be like God to him. You will tell him what to say. Take this stick with you and hold it in your hand. You will use it to do the miracles to show that I have sent you.’

Father God, my Creator and Sustainer.  You formed my mouth, my mind, and my heart it is a gift from You. Thank You, You know my weaknesses, my hesitations, and my fears. Like Moses, I often say, “Please send someone else,” forgetting that You do not call the equipped, but You equip the called. Teach me to trust Your voice above my insecurities. Remind me that You are with my mouth and my hands, that You go before me and prepare the way. When I feel inadequate, may I remember that You are more than enough. Thank You for the Aarons You place in my life,  those who walk beside me, speak for me, and encourage me. Help me to accept Your provision with humility and courage. Let me not shrink from the calling You’ve placed on my life. Instead, let me rise with the staff You’ve given, ready to do the signs You’ve ordained, knowing that Your power is made perfect in my weakness. Love You, thank You, praise You and give You all the honor and glory in Jesus Precious Name Amen and  Amen.
